Oklahoma's Woman of the Year finalist: Ree Drummond

Ree Drummond is having more than a great year; she’s having a great life. That said, 2009 was extra special because she did something she’s never done before.

Though she’s entertained millions on her Confessions of Pioneer Woman blog and the Web page that followed with her wit, wisdom, photography and recipes, she’s never been a published author.

Until now. Drummond’s "The Pioneer Woman Cooks” was the darling of Amazon.com, and her 20-plus city book tour routinely drew throngs of dedicated fans and lines that kept her giving autographs into the wee hours of the night. As of last week, the book was No. 3 on The New York Times best-sellers list for hardcover advice books; it also spent time in the No. 1 slot.

Meanwhile, her Web site, www.thepioneerwoman.com, continues to draw tens of thousands of people daily to read about this Bartlesville native’s life on her family’s historic ranch near Pawhuska.
